Holls 1505 Posted July 23 Hi all. It's been awhile. I used to be very active on this site. I've had some recent deaths in my family that has sent my anxiety in overdrive. In March I got two new puppies that were peeing constantly so I was mopping non stop.. well soon after I had a sore and achy chest. That feeling has been coming and going since. It's usually my upper chest and sometimes around my ribs and at times, upper back. Sometimes when I take a deep breath it hurts or feels super achy. It's driving my nuts. I am worried it's something serious. I have told my Dr twice and she seems not concerned at all..she pushes and of course listens to my chest. I love my Dr and I trust her but lately I'm wondering if I'm crying Wolf. Like does she take me seriously? Idk. I want to go to urgent care and hope they do an X-ray but idk. Ugh idk. Help. And hugs everyone.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PennyPanic 275 Posted July 24 Hi Holls! Long time no see...good for you on that. I'm glad you've been doing well. Deaths in the family can certainly cause all sorts of anxiety...and puppies, while so so so cute, are a lot of work. Sounds to me as if it's some kind of muscle pull or even tight muscles due to the stress of the deaths and new furry family members. I bet you were picking up those puppies and perhaps one weird move and you caused yourself some kind of pulled or cramped muscle. I don't think an xray would show muscle strain. Perhaps a massage? Perhaps some exercise to work out any muscle strains? Perhaps ask you doctor about those to see what she says? Anyhow, hang in there. Keep us posted. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went on to another worry lol so my chest is totally fine. Isn't it wild how our minds latch on to things one after the other. So frustrating. Hugs. I hope you are doing well and your anxiety is giving you a break. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It just came back up when I made my last post. I don't think notifications would have been sent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
